Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

In a car-first society, it is easy to believe that most bicycle accidents
are caused by driver negligence. These accidents are tragic in part because
of how avoidable they are. Common causes include:

Driver inattention – the prevalence of cellphone use while driving
continues to grow, even though it is against the law.

Failure to yield the right of way – like
pedestrians, bicyclists have the right of way.

Careless lane changes and turns – bicyclists are smaller than vehicles,
making them harder, but not impossible, to see.

When motorists do not share the road, bicyclists can get seriously hurt,
even when they are adhering to all the essential safety requirements and
rules of the road.
